Default Kudos to CCW-----AGAIN

Not like we all don't know about CCW's quality and customer service, but just wanted to give props to John, Melissa and Chip.

They went above and beyond what most companies would do.

Good job guys!!

I am a proud owner of a set of black powdercoated 18x10F and 19x11R SP500's.

I haven't taken many pictures yet, but this was taken on the way up to Thunder Bay, Ontario. The car was pretty dirty at this time but the picture seemed to turn out OK. As always, JSB looks like in photos.

Looks good. How is the ride now? I put your other wheels on the balancer before I dismounted the tires to see what the problem could be. Looks like a weight was thrown. The weight was off by 15 grams. Road force was good on both tires. Hope all is well now.

That pic is when I actually had my other front wheels on The ride seems fine. I didn't get to take it on a 1,400 mile drive this time, but the bit I have drove it it feels great! In your experience, is there one brand/model of tire that you are able to balance up the easiest? In briefly talking with John, when I placed my order, he mentioned to me that PS2's can be a pain to get them mounted good. Just wondering if there's a tire that seems to mount up and balance up better than others.

The MPS2 tires have gotten better it seems lately. They can all be a pain. The key is to have a patient person doing the mounting and balancing. The Nitto Invo and MPS2 are equally PITA.

The only tire that (knock on wood) we have not had trouble with is the Kuhmo Ecsta tires. Now that I said that out loud...
